Do people in australia really have kangaroos in their backyard??

Question

My pal charli reckons they do.. but it sounds a bit far fetched i think!! Plz plz plz help me settle this arguement!!

Answer 1

yep
roo's in the back yard
koala's in the front yard
wombat's under the house
& if you have a swimming pool crock's in that

Answer 2

There is a little truth to this but it depends where you live. I have had two roos in the front yard - it is unfenced, but never in the fenced back yard. Both roos were just passing through. The house is near a reserve which connects to a "nature park" with a big hill in the middle of it. Then there is a six lane expressway, which the roos probably crossed somehow from the rural areas about two miles (say 3km) further away. I have lived in several towns and I had not seen a roo in any town for a long time before that, and then it was just once.

In the tiny town where my parents live they sometimes had a koala in a tree in the front yard. They lived near the edge of the town. One hot day the neighbour's dog was barking furiously, because the koala was taking a shower under the lawn sprinkler next door.

But mostly what we get are birds. The parrots are eating the nearly ripe apples on my tree. There are magpies and currawongs, mynahs and honey eaters. The mynahs like to swoop on dogs, but most dogs don't seem to be bothered.

I suggest this service: http://phonedetectives.co - The best reverse cell phone lookup service.

It's a cheap service that works great! It could be used for a much deeper search. You can use it to get hold of different varieties of background reports, and in addition cell numbers, addresses and names.. you can get unlimited reports... I ran with this because I required to verify more numbers.

You can get the name, other phone number, address history, relatives, and much more about anyone! The completly free reverse phone lookup generally doesn't provide anything interesting. To get interesting information, money will must be paid. The free searches don't provide considerably more than what may be found through the phone directory or personal information and they simply require your email to send spam. The reverse phone detective search tool does work, but you should use just the service that I posted above. The last thing you want to do, is pay for a service and find the numbers you want to lookup are not available in their directory.

The service that I reccomend doesn't have any kind of problem , you won't get any bad surprise! Trust it!

Reverse Phone Lookup area gives you additional access to millions of public records, including:

+ Find out the source of a harassing ("prank") caller
+ Research a number that appeared on your phone bill
+ Locate an old friend from high school or college
+ Research "missed calls" on your caller ID that you don't recognize
+ Verify an address
+ And more...

My dad accidentally ran over a mother Roo when I was little, and we looked after two Joeys until they could be set free at a farm. They did not return to the wild and ended up dying prematurely there. So sometimes yes to the Kangaroos in back yards thing. I live in Perth which has one of the highest bushland/housing ratios of any capital city in the country. We get Roos living on Golf courses here, and I remember a news report about one on the freeway, but it was only once.

Koalas are not capable of living in telephone poles in case you were wondering.They have a highly specialised, low calorie diet and cannot be to far away from there food source.

The Yowie is the East coast version of a Bigfoot in Aboriginal legend. I don't think the Noongar people have this concept but I could be wrong (and would be interested to hear if anyone knows)

Answer 5

The best avaiable service is surely Reverse Phone Lookup.

You can check the website here: http://www.goobypls.com/r/rd.asp?gid=538

The free reverse phone lookup sites generally doesn't provide anything interesting. To get interesting information, you should spend a bit of money. The free searches do not provide much more than what can be found through the phone book or personal knowledge and they only want your email to send spam. You should stay away from shady reverse phone lookup sites, most likely you won't get any information after you make the payment. Stick with a reputable reverse phone lookup site like http://www.goobypls.com/r/rd.asp?gid=538 that has been on the market for a lot of years.

With their reverse cell phone lookup tool you can find out information behind any cell or land line number. Type in the persons cell phone number and you will be given access to their report, including name cell and land line numbers, and address.

It can be used also for a much deeper search. People wanting to get hold of all kinds of background reports, as well as cell phone numbers, addresses and names..

If I remember well there are 2 options:

Basic:
You get only one report.
[acabo]Advanced:

You get unlimited reports... I went with this option because I wanted to verify more numbers. You can get the name, other phone number, address history, relatives, and much more about anyone!

Anyway you can check on the website for further informations. Hope it helps! :)

Answer 6

The city in Australia with the reputation for kangaroos in back and front yards is Canberra, the capital. The kangaroos are quite common particularly in the drought.

I get the occasional kangaroo in the backyard, they come across from the golf course across the road. I don't, however, live in a city or a large town.

Answer 7

I live near the ocean in Victoria Australia. It is a rural area although the real country people of victoria describe our area as seaside. I am about 15 kilometres from the nearest town and I sure do have kangaroos in my backyard. I even had one in my front yard a few months ago. There are signs on the roads and you have to be very careful driving at dawn and dusk as they jump out in front of the car. They can make a real mess of a car and I have had a couple of near misses. My husband hit one last year and dinted the massive bullbar on the truck.
When my dad was alive and living next door he phoned my husband to go help him as he had had a very large Kangaroo hop through his place in the middle of the day and his German Sheppard had made chase. The Roo was going so fast it forgot to jump the back fence and slammed straight into it. It dropped dead instantly. So my husband had to help bury it as my father couldn't lift it.

The local motocross club is very near me and we have had to stop races as roo's have jumped onto the track in the middle of a race. One poor teenager was racing a Hare Scramble which is through the bush when he hit one. Knocked himself out and killed the roo.
So yes some of us do have Kangaroos in our backyard. We also have Koalas in our trees and they growl at night. The noise is really strange.

Answer 8

I live within 1 hour of a major city and the ocean.

I have kangaroos in my backyard (and front yard) on a daily basis.

Also fresh water yabbies, possums, rabbits, hares, bandicoots, wwallabies, red and grey kangaroos, owls, bats, tawny frogmouths, eagles, hawks, foxes and a HUGE variety of Australian bird life such as rosellas, cockatoos and rainbow lorrikeets.

I don't live in the middle of nowhere, but I don't live in the middle of a major city either.

There are always dead kangaroos, possums, rabbits and foxes on the roadsides every day. It's so sad.

Answer 9

OMG Ok well I am Australian.
People who live on farms have alot of kangaroos around trying to get close to water because of the drought, there arent literally kangaroos in every Australians backyard, only in rural settings usually. However i live in a rural town and there arent usually ever kangaroos in town they are on the outskirts.
Kangaroos are actually considered pests by some people because there are so many of them!!
** Why did i get two thumbs down!? i was being serious, in rural places they can be in backyards, but its rare in cities! I am from the country thank you, im not some city person!!**
